Monday Mugshots

Poor little Jayden is not beating the heat so well. He often declares, “Too hot” and as he’s a man of few words, that’s saying a lot. A side effect of the heat is that he feels itchy. So he often asks one of us to scratch his back for him. Fortunately he’s got three of us to rotate through because a back scratch can never last long enough. Some of us are more patient than others, his sister will do anything for a cuddle.

It’s even influencing his art. The other day he drew something that vaguely resembled a circle (to my unenlightened eyes) and proudly proclaimed it to be an AC (air conditioner). How do you beat the heat?

With an airconditioner, of course 🙂
Here in Israel the humidity is unbelievable, and the temperatures are above 30 celsius, so it’s quite impossible to breathe without an AC.
And your kids are always cute! 🙂

I’m with Jayden – the heat really gets to me! I have one of those neck cooler things that you sometimes see golfers or tennis players wear (soak in water and wear. as the water evaporates, it cools you down). I also believe in taking warm showers for temporary relief. When you get out of the shower, the air feels cool. Good Luck!!

Poor Jayden! Air con is a must here also!
Did you try prickly heat powder? It’s powder laced with menthol and camphor. It really helps relieve the itchiness and cool off the skin. They sell that at pharmacies. I discovered that in Thailand, it’s a must over there!

I go to the basement–it’s appreciably cooler down there, especially when I’m too darn cheap to turn down the thermostat. Or I take the kids somewhere that IS cool, although that can end up being more expensive than more air conditioning. Or we turn on bunches of fans.
